Pootie Tang, the musician/actor/folk hero of the ghetto, is chronicled from his early childhood to his battles against the evil Corporate America, who try to steal his magic belt and make him sell out by endorsing addictive products to his people. Pootie must learn to find himself and defeat the evil corporation for all the young black children of America, supatime. Louis C.K is the African-American version of Ed Wood.<br/><br/>This movie was a waste of good film. And to think, they could have filmed Barney the purple dinosaur with this film; that's just how bad it is.<br/><br/>When I saw Chris Rock and Wanda Sykes was in this movie, I thought it would be funny, but even THEY don't do enough to make you crack a smile.<br/><br/>Luckily, this movie is only 70mins. long! But that is 71 mins. too long…… This is absurdist humor at its best. Nothing about it really makes any sense at all. As I can see from the comments on here, most people didn't like that, but that is the point. It is obvious that Louis CK and company did everything they could to make sure this film didnt make a lick of sense. And boy howdy did it work. This movie has broken down a room full of grown men into tears of laughter on numerous occasions, thanks to the magic of DVD. The trick to loving this movie is expecting nothing because that is what it gives you. But I am certain if you go in with that mind-set, you will die with laughter. Sepatown! Pootie Tang may be raw and slovenly – hey, it often is raw and slovenly – but it succeeds as a laugh getter because of the spot-on satirical notes. You might say that the movie walks it like it talks it; I'm not sure what Pootie would say.
